Description
Signed 1984 Star Co. Michael Jordan Rookie #101 PSA EX-MT 6, PSA/DNA Auto 8. Michael Jordan, the player who redefined basketball greatness, is featured on this 1984 Star Company #101 rookie card, widely regarded as his true first NBA-licensed issue. Signed boldly in black ink and graded PSA EX-MT 6 with a certified and graded PSA/DNA Auto 8, this card carries even greater significance given its autographed status, with the signature traced to a source with deep ties to Chicago and its political history. It remains one of the most historically important Jordan cards ever produced, representing the very beginning of his hobby legacy.The Star Co. #101 has seen an extraordinary surge in popularity over the past year, with demand reaching critical mass as collectors recognize its place as Jordan's first true rookie. Originally distributed in team bags and regional channels rather than traditional packs, these cards were not available in standard retail outlets, which only adds to their mystique and rarity. Recent high-profile sales have cemented the card's status as a centerpiece in the basketball hobby, rivaling the 1986 Fleer Jordan in cultural and financial impact.
Jordan's autograph has also seen a remarkable rise in demand, with collectors increasingly chasing authenticated signatures as supply dwindles. The combination of his iconic rookie issue with a verified autograph creates a piece of unmatched significance, blending the origins of his card history with the enduring appeal of his signature. With its rarity, provenance, and soaring market demand, this signed Star Co. #101 stands as one of the most desirable Jordan collectibles in existence.
Guide Value or Estimate: $150,000 - up.
